Same. I actually have lefty clubs in my garage right now, so I might take one after work tonight.

Sorry for taking so long to get this up. Been a while since I videoed my swing.

LOL. No, you are just one of the few brave souls with the balls to do it. Nearly 70 posts but I think there's only about 8-9 of us actually taking a backwards swing.

Yours in earnest, Jason.

Actually...that was pretty good!

Better than a lot of "Normal" golf swings I've seen. Haha.

Got a chance to go to the range last night and remembered to video my lefty swing. I have to say I'm surprised that it doesn't look like a left handed version of Barkley: it felt really strange.

My horrible lefty swing (I'm surprised that I actually hit the ball, its UGLY)

I have edited the vid to be right side up. If you see it sideways, It should fix itself.


My turn! HAHA. I'm surprised it wasn't worse than this. I think I want to get a lefty club!

I should have moved the camera over.... damn it! Oh well!

Here's my attempt at it. Doesn't look that bad. Actually looks better than my normal swing :-(

Ryan

    • Not really, no. I don't know the history, what you've worked on, what you've tried and moved away from… etc.
    • Day 9: 2/16/25 Putting through 50 mm gates from 11”. Swing pressure shift drills.
    • Definitely not a favorite… For some reason my wife and I started watching Cobra Kai. I know the original was pretty cheesy, but the inability of these people to get over shit that happened like 30 years ago is astounding. And these kids would be arrested, but they don’t even seem to get suspended from school. Would Danny not notice that Johnny’s son looks like Johnny? Etc.? Why would a completely different dojo that has the same name be “banned”? Oy. Not sure we’ll make it to season 2.
    • Day 139 - 2025-02-16 Weather led to a rescheduled GEARS lesson, so I used the time to work on my swing for 60 minutes or so. All downswing stuff. Some swings at 93 MPH. Most around 75-80.
    • A question I have is…this swing (fade, pull cut) does not  feel as good and easily repeatable as the draw swing we were working on previously.  I’m kinda in a weird spot where I do not know which direction will be the best to pursue. I like seeing a penetrating 5 yard draw but also like the thought of the fade not getting away from me as much.    Any thoughts on that?
